White House in Talks with Qatar Over Potential Air Force One Replacement. The White House is currently in discussions with the royal family of Qatar about potentially receiving a luxury jumbo jet to serve as a replacement for Air Force One. However, Qatar has denied the plane would be a gift, stating instead that the aircraft may be transferred for "temporary use" while talks continue. The plane is expected to be donated to Trump's presidential library at the end of his term. This news comes as President Trump prepares for his first major foreign trip of his second term, visiting Qatar later this week. Negotiations are ongoing between the US Department of Defense and Qatar's Ministry of Defense, but no final decision has been made yet. However, the plane will need modifications and security clearances before it can be used. The potential transfer of such a high-value aircraft has raised ethical and legal concerns. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that any foreign gift would comply with applicable laws, while Trump defended the plane as a gift, offered at no cost.
